STAFF RECOMMENDATION

APPROVE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS:
Planning:
1. Staff supports the variance request, provided that traffic calming devices are installed at street segments of 450 to 650 feet with minimum number of speed tables as per Section 3-2 N. 3 of the Subdivision. Should the variance not be granted, revise the street and block layout to comply with Section 3-2 N. 2. and Section 3-2 N. 1. of the Subdivision Ordinance.
2. The proposed master plan does not comply with the Future Thoroughfare Plan in that St. Luke Boulevard is to extend as a collector in a southerly direction followed by a westerly connection towards Ejido Avenue. Revise accordingly.
3. The westernmost entrance of Phase I (Street F) creates a street jog with the westernmost entrance of Phase II (Street A). Revise the layout accordingly.
4. Provide stub out street connections in Phases 4 and 5 to the south and west for future extension and connectivity to adjacent properties, in accordance with Section 3-2 (L) of the Subdivision Ordinance.
5. Identify all adjacent property owners (e.g., New Lake Investments, LTD to the south).
6. The master plan identifies TDB World Industrial Park, LLC as the owner. Update the face of the master plan to reflect the owner/developer as TDB Land Holdings, Ltd as per the application and deed.
7. Identify the proposed use of Block 14, Phase 4.
8. A zone change will be required for the proposed lot dimensions. Please note that preliminary plat approval does not constitute a staff position on zone change requests. Staff’s official position will be provided only upon formal submittal of a zone change application. All zone change requests are subject to City Council discretion and are not guaranteed. Should the zone change request be denied, a plat revision will be required.
9. Access to Cuatro Vientos is subject to the review and approval by Texas Department of Transportation (TX-DOT).
10. All improvements as per the Subdivision Ordinance.
